| Stereo Preamp to pair with Carver Dustin, check out a Doge 8 clarity ,or a Modwright SWL 9.0 sig , or a Dehavilland Ultraverve 3. Whether you can spring for a new one ($1400) or find these in used form the Doge and Modwright would be right in your budget of $1000. Any of these wo... | |
| Cambridge 851C with Bluesound I think the Bluesound would be perfect and only if your willing to spend $3K for a Aurender music server could you do better imo. Matt M | |
| Opinions: Used BAT VK-51SE or New VK-23SE jmcgrogan2, The OP asked for opinions on the BAT pre amp, I guess I should clarify what I meant when I used the term "dry" when describing the BAT sound. Of all the pre amps I have listened to and purchased and re sold, it was the BAT that was col... | |
| Audio store near Anaheim Ca Isnt Upscale Audio near there? | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? I agree with Kijanki and Williewonka, that its probably placement of the speakers in relation to the size of the room. Maggies can get low and punchy sounding when set up in the right room correctly. Matt M | |
| What interconnect would I put from my cd to my preamp? If you want to keep things neutral (I like cables that get out of the way) I would look at Nordost or Morrow Audio. IMO.Matt M | |
| ARC REF 3 vs ML 326s I really like your idea of going with the Tubes-Get the ARC! Matt M | |
| Contour 30s with Simaudio 600i Dynaudio's need power to really open up and sound right, at low volumes there are many other speakers to consider. If you dont like playing loud (35w) to really loud (200w+) then having the Dyns is a waste imo. Matt M | |
| Hum/Ground Loop Is this to cure or make it worse the problem??Matt M | |
| Opinions: Used BAT VK-51SE or New VK-23SE All I can say is that running a BAT preamp with Emotiva power amp will result in a very dry, without good top end extension and hard to listen to at higher volumes.It would be good to get a warmer sounding pre to go with the Emotiva amp. In my opi... | |
| Pro-Ject Tube Box DS vs Pro-Ject Tube Box S Moving sideways imo....If you could jump to a Musical Surroundings Phonomena ($600) I think you would hear a real jump in level of sound quality. (the phono pre amp is the gateway to great vinyl sound) http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/product-ca... | |
| Best Network Music Streamer for Mcintosh Equipment With your C2500 having a built in DAC all you need is a streamer, the best sounding streamer which also has the best app (conductor) is Aurender, the X100 is a streamer that comes in different sizes 4TB's to 12TB's. I think they even make a 2TB on... | |
| Emotiva BasX TA-100 integrated or BasX PT-100 preamp sound quality "Looking at musicality, dimensionality" Don't look at Emotiva then imo. | |
| TRANSPORTER??? Toslink (worst) RCA (very good) USB audio 2.0 (excellent) XLR (best), I think is how this goes. | |
| TURNTABLE SELECTION RECCOMENDATIONS Invictus, The OP said affordable, so you recommend a 5k-10k range of tables?? Rolandsears, Per your request how about checking out a REGA P3 or P6 with a Dynavector 10X5 or 20x2H/L cartridge :-) Highly recommend for ease of use and great lively s... |
